History
The village was first mentioned in 1315 as Hasca. Haske is probably a type of grass. Oude (old) has been added to distinguish from Nijehaske.{{cite web|url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/oudehaske#berkelplaatsnamen |title=Oudehaske - (geografische naam) |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=29 March 2022 |language=nl}}
Oudehaske is a road village which developed on the Heerenveen to Joure main road. In the late 19th century, the former peat excavation areas were poldered.{{cite web|url=https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/sten009monu06_01/sten009monu06_01_0138.php |title=Oudehaske |author=Ronald Stenvert & Sabine Broekhoven |year=2000 |publisher=Waanders |location=Zwolle |isbn=90 400 9476 4 |language=nl |access-date=29 March 2022}} In 1840, it was home to 585 people. The Protestant Church was built in 1906.{{cite web|url=https://www.plaatsengids.nl/oudehaske |title=Oudehaske |website=Plaatsengids |access-date=29 March 2022 |language=nl}} Oudehaske started to grow in the 1960s.
Before 2014, Oudehaske was part of the Skarsterlân municipality and before 1984 it was part of Haskerland.
Oudehaske is known in traffic engineering circles for the radical innovation in street design pioneered there by Hans Monderman, removing signs and using subtle cues to indicate that the roadways are shared space between pedestrians and other vehicles.{{cite web|url=http://jalopnik.com/5533260/why-street-signs-make-traffic-more-dangerous?skyline=true&s=i |title=Why Street Signs Make Traffic More Dangerous |website=Jalopnik |access-date=29 March 2022}}
